"Marvel's Agent Carter," starring Captain America's Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It's 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life—Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," along with the short "Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter."

There are certainly quite a few characters who I'd rather see on the screen than her.

On the other hand, I'd take this over Agents of Shield.

I have been getting more and more bored with this show with every episode. The last few episodes I spent more time on my phone than actually watching it. My favourite episode of the whole series was the one with the Howling Commandos. On the other hand, while I was sceptical about Gotham in the beginning, now I can't wait for the next episode.

I guess for me it feels like it can't decide what it wants to be. Gotham is a drama, with great writing and a great cast. Arrow has always had great action scenes. Flash is funny and unashamedly cheesy and fun to watch. I think Carter tries to do all three and doesn't really succeed in any of them.

Ah well, I'll give it a try again when it comes back. Fortunately, there are so many new shows starting we will all be spoilt for choice. So I'll still get my superhero fix even if I do drop Carter. Long live the age superhero television!

I watched the finale and thought it was dog-shit, personally. Not a single thing about it was in any way ungeneric.

I've only seen the pilot and the season finale, so I can't judge the show as a whole, but from what I've seen the show, much like the first season of Agents of Shield, would have benefited greatly from being more like Fringe thematically and in tone, and less like Burn Notice or something.
